I think that there is a lot of talk about where Amazon will put their second HQ, I think that whichever state and city give them the best incentive package will suddenly be where the best talent is...

I agree with the benefits of bringing business in but it bothers me that a company with the amount of cash that Amazon has is asking for a handout just because they can. If I went to Denver with a business, I guarantee that no politician would even notice. Using tax dollars for something that will benefit Amazon shareholders more than the local economy is crazy to me

And where the best location to add value to their supply chain. Money will win the day and people will spin that their state has the best tech center for Amazon but in reality your state will be the one who gave away the most of your tax dollars to one of the most valuable companies in the world

To offer incentives to compete against other states is such a lose lose for the country. You know they need to go somewhere, take taxes out of the equation and make them pay their share.

^its always a good question but there are certain advantages. First is amazon bring in money from the outside instead or recycling the same money inside the community. Second is 100 small businesses will pop up around Amazon as modern companies are known for outsourcing and plus they need supplies and all. But again, this is all a big question and corporate welfare seems to be acceptable in this country.

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?
